really??? like i even get feelings but i ignore them and don't ruminate over them or try to check because it makes me feel worse, and it's like i am okay with them. is that accepting i am gay, denial, or accepting the presence of the thoughts as a good step towards recovery? i am do confused because i didn't do any erp, all i did was have fun throughout summer and stay with friends and family and like delayed ruminating over the thoughts or checking. like i would be having dinner and get a thought, i would say "yes make a mental note of that to think about it later" but then i don't because i would have forgotten or would be too happy/tired to do so.

maybe instead of dismissing, i would try a small exposure script “okay, i’m thinking this. this could be true. if it is, i am okay. my mind takes things taht solely confirms my fear,” etc. also, i know saying that shit si super hard and i don’t at all mean that that’s what i’m implying. exposures suck but ya gotta desensitize those thoughts

Do you have to do erp?
I’ve noticed that I’m somewhat happier also ignoring my thoughts than I am instead of doing compulsions (I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired atp) but I’ve heard you’re technically supposed to do erp rather than pushing under the rug. But idk if I have a thought I just refuse to think about it again and im fine even if I want to do compulsions

Mental compulsions/ rumination
So hard to not engage the thoughts because even though it's from the "past" (i don't even know if im remembering things correctly and it kills me) and i can't change it, I just NEED to prove it to myself that it didn't happen this way. If you'd asked me questions maybe a few months ago, I would have been able to lucidly explain things. Now I just feel like I'm in a constant swarm of thoughts, not knowing if anything is real. If my brain is to be trusted. Wish I could just get hypnosis to forget

Intrusive Thoughts During “Me-Time”
So I was enjoying some “me time” and had intrusive thoughts, but it felt like just for a second I liked it. Like I’m holding myself back from “enjoying” the thought. And the thoughts are related to things I was into when I was younger, but sometimes I feel like I might still like it even though 9/10 I wouldn’t give it a second thought. Is this common? Or is this just denial? Thanks
